The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1887-12-22

THE Democratic party has ever been
the party of justice and sound constitu-
tional principles. Our platforms, tradi-
tions, Presidents, etc, confirm all this
These principles may be stated:
l. The powers of government are
limited by and to the constitution; the
power to tax the people is for the pur-
pose of revenue and no other. Un.
necessary taxation is unjust taxation,
and is tyranny.
2. a surplus in the treasury is an
evil-a standing temptation to extrava-
gance and corruption. A surplus is the
result of excessive taxation and should
be stopped.
8. In correcting and adjusting taxa
ton, those taxes should be ahated that
tax neceSsaries and the essentials o.
manufactures. Hence food fuel, shel
ter and clothing and raw materials fol
manufacturing should be first relieved
This, no doubt, will be the Demo
cratic policy. This will be done with a
view to the practical. The country
should feel grateful to the President
for his noble message.

THE Cleveland Press says: at is
noticeable that the editors who are
eiamoring loudest for Congress to sub
sidize some ships in order to increase
our commerce, are the very ones who
are insisting that foreign goods should
be kept out Of the country by high du-
ties. This proyokes the natural ques.
tion, wlMt do we want ships for If they
are not to carry goOds.9 Perhaps II
may be answered, ito carry off our sur
pius goods" But who win take these
goods unless we take goods in return
Nations are traders, not buyers. Any

A R111 to refund the States

A BILL to refund the States and ter
ritories the direct war tax collected
under the act of August, 1861, is report
ed in the Senate and will no doubt pass
as it passed last winter with only one
vote against. 1t failed in the House.
The act of 1861 imposed tax of $780,
100000 upon the various States and
Territories, of which over $17,35000C
was paid or credited. This sum the
present bill directs to be credited to the
States, and the amount due is remitted
If the bill becomes law New York
will be credited with $2, ,603, ,92S.67; PENN
sylvania, Illinois and Ohio will each
have over 100000; Connecticut over
100000, Massachusetts over $SO0,O0O
and New Jersey over $450,OOO.

1T is fine and refreshing to hear once
again a dish of clean cut Democrat
from a Democratic President in his
annual message. ,,..---.,-...,.- ''
President Cleveland's late message i:
doing good work in every direction
Besides unifying the Democracy; bring
ing us all to a rallying round up, it is
dividing the Republican party, leading
Republican journals coming out boldly
for the message. 1t is working well.

The Repository continues its mali
cious assaults upon Mayor Blake, say
ing in it's long winded article of Tues
day, tnat "The City Hall coterie keep
"matters secret, ETC." ~
The Repository does not insinuate
that the DEMOCRAT is favored at the
City Hall; and this may be taken as an
admission that the Rep, is treated quite
as we'll as the DEMOCRAT.
Perhaps, however, the trouble IS that
the big headed and pig headed gentle
men of that concern are not shown
special favofs by 1.-The coterie at the
City Hail." and are given secrets fol
them alone to publish. Were they thus
favored, the Mayor would be all right
with the Rep.
The course of the Repository toward
Mayor Blake, and its rawlings at. not
being given secrets" is surprising
Cases there have been when no com
plant was made in this respect.
The Rep too in its last issue had to
back down from several Of its furious
charges, the Wilson matter one of them,
In fact the infallible Repository is
fallible. E g." eA
AS to threats of personal violence
ETC.; this is probably another exaggera-
ton, resulting from their own self
consciousness as to their unwarranted
course. In friendly spirit the DEMO
Graf suggests that "a soft answer
turneth away wrath, etc"

As TO wool tariff, farmers, one and
all, should bear in mind that all pro
tective tariffs favored manufactured
woollen goods far beyond wool, usually
double or more.
No protective howler ever voted to
give the farmers wool as much protec.
ton as woollen fabrics. In 1888 Re
publican Congress cut down the tariff
on wool, John Sherman also voting fol-
it. 49,
This pretentious Republican party is
simply a monopoly party.
